Hmm, on the Votematch one I'm Labour, whereas t'other I'm Lib Dem. Interesting.

Surprisingly Votematch rates Labour as the one I'd least likely vote for (which, admittedly, right now is true). Apparently, I'm most likely to vote Lib Dem.

Lib Dem
Tory
Green
Labour

Not quite what I was expecting, Lib Dems top was though

Del Lardo · 13-04-2010, 15:28

Conservative Party:
56%
Labour Party:
32%
Liberal Democrats:
21%

Winner is no great surprise for me but am surprised that Labour beat Lib Dems. Strange thing is that I will probably end up voting Lib Dem as Conservatives have no chance round here and my opinions on Labour aren't suitable for BD.

Grandad · 13-04-2010, 18:31

Con 53%
Labour 51%
Libs 23%

If I include the ones I wouldn't vote for

British National Party: 56%
Conservative Party: 51%
Labour Party: 49%
UK Independence Party: 45%
Liberal Democrats: 26%
Green Party: 13%

I suppsoe the reason the BNP come out high is that they include a lot of populist policies amongst all their crap

This is quite good - makes it easy to have a quick overview comparison.

Stupid, but it made me laugh!

Not sure where else it's happening but it seems in all 3 constituencies for Swansea, the BNP are being a bit subtle about their party.

Rather than listing themselves as the BNP (and all the connotations that come with it of course), they're registered as Support Our Troops Bring Them Home with no mention of the party name.

Underhanded tactic which I'm not surprised that they've done but they'll no doubt get more votes because of the one issue they're pushing :/
Didn't realise till just now that parties can register themselves as such things with the Electoral Commission.

Pretty settled on who I'm voting for now anyhow

Same as last time round.

Parties can try to call themselves pretty much whatever they want - though I'd imagine vulgarity wouldn't get them far.

BNP aren't even bothering here, although UKIP are. It'll be interesting to see how far our Independent candidate gets (he runs a shop in the town and certainly isn't afraid to express an opinion).
